Because I'm moving!!! Talk about having butterflies in your stomach literally the entire week! Gee! But today arrived and I finally figured out where I was going:)) I don't have a lot of time to write today...I have lots to do:)) But, here it goes....
Monday
Last Monday we went to a new burger place that opened up in Drammen that is supposed to be like American style hamburgers, so we went there with our District. We also played sand volleyball in Elveparken and then went shopping at H&M! So that was fun! We contacted for a little bit and then worked in the area book!
Tuesday
Today we were supposed to be meeting with one of our less actives but she cancelled on us... so we finished up our studies and went and tried to visit another record in our area book. We didn't find the street so that made it a little difficult! We had a dinner appointment with all the elders with a family in the ward...and that was so much fun! I love that family!!! It was my last dinner appointment with them though which was super sad!!:(( But also, today is Sister Reid's birthday!!!! so Elder Decker made her a cake and took it to our dinner appointment which was super fun! After that we headed home and did twelve week!
Wednesday
Herland Conference! Today we had a mission conference with all the people in our zone and in the West Zone! Elder Herland is an Area Seventy from Norway....and we talked about the talk "Stand Up Inside and Be All In" from Elder Sabin.. and it was such a good conference!!! Heavenly Father knows exactly what we need, each of us personally. Two things that really stood out to me that he said was, "Do the very best that you can do-because Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and all of heaven is doing everything they can to help you" Isn't that incredible!? That we literally have that guaranteed promise that they are doing everything to help us all the time?! Then he also said, "I promise that you will have a great mission if you just try a little bit. It will change your heart, it will save your life and it will save thousands of other lives later" Missionary work is something that has always been so close to my heart because of the affect that it has had on my immediate family. The gospel was introduced really close to (my grandma and my dad) and if it weren't for those missionaries then my life would be really different. So I love that he said that it will change your life and thousands of lives later! It was an incredible conference!! Plus I got to see my old companions which is just the greatest!! They are my best friends!! After our conference we came home and we had dinner and then did studies!
Thursday
Today we had a lesson with one of our investigators and we taught about the Plan of Salvation! It was actually probably one of my favorite lessons teaching about the Plan of Salvation! I felt like I was really able to use the way that I teach to be able to connect to him in a way that made sense to him...it was awesome! He is so open minded and asking great questions! So I'm sad that I don't get to teach him anymore! We also taught another new person about the Restoration...she only understands a little bit of Norwegian and a little English so that was a challenge..I need to learn to speak Tigrinya or something so that I can communicate with more people! Gift of tongues! Then Sister Reid was not feeling well at all so we went home and for the rest of the day did stuff around the apartment and did 12 week!
Friday
Today Sister Reid was really sick so we stayed inside for the day! The Elders went shopping for us which was super nice of them so we had food to eat... and then we watched just about every church movie in our apartment!
Saturday
Today we went and helped a lady in the ward move into her apartment and clean up a little bit. We headed to our dinner appointment after that! We had a great dinner and then just relaxed and had dessert because it was now Pinse weekend... so busses don't go as often and such and such! So then we had studies and 12 week!
Sunday
Today was my last Sunday in Drammen which was really weird and sad!! But it was a great testimony meeting and I have truly come to love the ward here!!! They are incredible!!! We went to Mommo and Besse and had dinner for the last time...and then we went to another family and had dessert with them and the elders. It was a great, great day and we had a lot of fun!! When we got home we had the rest of our personal study and then that was that!
Monday
Today we found out where we are being transferred to!! I am going to BERGEN!!! I've always wanted to go Bergen...and now I get the chance!!! It's a city on the coast and I'm so excited! It's absolutely beautiful! So I can't wait! My comp will be Sister Bennett and we already get along super well so I'm way excited about that! She came on splits with me when I was in Asker. And I'll be in an apartment with two other sisters named Sister Gagon and Sister Peterson so I'm excited about that too! It will be so much fun! So next time I will be emailing it will be from Bergen!!!
